This last year I went through possibly losing my son to cancer, it was the hardest time of my life, my son's life and my wife's. In that time I've really questioned my faith and found myself being mad at God/the world and to be honest I still am on most days just from seeing how it's changed my son. After hearing this story, it really made me take a step back and realize I'm lucky. It could always be worse. I'm very sorry for your loss. After this video I'm going to have a talk with God.

I listened to the story and I read through the comments, both saddened me deeply. I can speak from a perspective most of the commenters can not. I was shot in a turkey hunting accident in 2009. The accident nearly took my life. I was shot with a crossbow and took a mechanical broad head pass through my left thigh. There are no words that can ever be written to convey the pain, anguish, fear and dread of the situation. Only those of us who have looked death in the eye know it. Obed knows it and I could read his heart as he spoke. I respect his courage in testifying, because we relive those days every time the story comes up. I can still see the wound in his soul and heart. I know every time he looks upon his own wounds there's remnant pain. Accidents happen and the lives of everyone involved are either destroyed or forever changed. There's no need to throw around accusations or speculate on blame. We must work all things out for good. I forgave the guy who shot me just as he forgave the shooter who shot his son. I don't know why God would save an old man from what surely could have been a fatal wound and not a young man, but I do know that just as the Ellis family is using this to glorify God, so am I. I have sat in a pool of my own blood and asked the good Lord, "is this the day I die". I have no explanation for the outcomes, but I do know God is in both. My blood is insignificant when compared to the blood Jesus shed so we will all be together. Hunt safe and Love one another.

I have never been touched by such a story in my life. I'm a grown 31 year old man and I cried listening to this story. I was shot 6 years ago by my best friend in the fore arm while deer hunting. I was lucky enough to walk away and I Thank god every day that it wasn't worse. As hunters, we lose sight of things in the heat of the moment and accidents happen. I'm sorry that your accident ended in such a horrible way. It's breathtaking, sad, and just down right horrible. I will forever remember your story and will always be in my heart. I'm sorry for your loss and someday, somehow I hope I can shake your hand and thank you for telling us the story of Troy Ellis. He'll always be watching and smiling down on all of us. Prayers to all of his family and friends. And even though I didn't know him, he will be on my mind next time I'm out hunting.

Thank you for sharing this tragic story. As the fall deer season is approaching, I look back at my past 10 years on my deer lease and think of the memories I have made hunting this property. My Father, 2 of my cousins, my daughter, and both of my step sons have been able to experience this with me multiple times. This year I will be taking my step-nephew at age 15. The memories and bonds that are formed in the woods with nature and family can only be lived by experiencing them first hand. Thank you for the reminder of God and family, and how much cherished moments like these can be made. Bless you all.

We lost our youngest daughter in October of 2014. I was coming back from checking my deer stand on the mountain as the deputy pulled out of our yard from giving my wife the news. I did not get on that stand again after that. I did not want to go back into the woods for a while for fear that something else would happen. God has brought us healing, and we have been used by Him to help many others who have lost children. I do hunt again, and I enjoy it as much as I ever did, but it is far more about the time of connecting with God and being still and quiet before Him than it is the harvest of the game. Thank you for sharing Troy's story, and as hard as it is, to God be the glory for the great things He has done and continues to do! Rev. Merritt Taylor
